Editing Brass Eagle (section)

== Paintballs and accessories ==

Brass Eagle manufactured and distributed a range of equipment beyond complete paintball markers.

=== Paintballs ===

The company marketed paintballs for recreational and organised play.

During 1999, Brass Eagle expanded its paintball manufacturing operations and began producing its own paintballs.

According to its 1999 annual report, the company was manufacturing all of its paintball requirements by the fourth quarter of that year.[3]

=== Loaders ===

Following the acquisition of ViewLoader in 1999, Brass Eagle controlled several widely used paintball loading products.

These included conventional gravity-fed hoppers and electronic agitation systems.

The [[ViewLoader Revolution]] was particularly associated with competitive paintball during the transition towards higher rates of fire in the late 1990s.[4]

=== Protective equipment ===

Brass Eagle distributed paintball goggles, masks and protective accessories.

Before acquiring JT USA, the company maintained a distribution relationship with Leader Industries of Montreal, Canada, for paintball face protection.

The 2000 acquisition of JT USA added established protective equipment and apparel products to the company's portfolio.[3][5]
